I'm still here..(and there)

Posting here has been slim lately, so I'll try to catch you up to speed on what's been go'n on...

Let's go back about 2 weeks ago....Cassie came home complaining about her leg, she had fell and scraped her shin the day before, I thought that was what she was talking about...after a few "Mom my leg hurts" and "Mom my leg is really hurting" I finally realized she was talking about the back of her leg, which had a spot the size of a fist swollen, and very red and nasty looking (accompanied by fever) up on further investigation at the doctors office we found that it was an abscess. She had to get a shot (big shot) and take antibiotics, her leg looked much better by day 2.....fast forward to the next week...Cassie had an allergic reaction to her antibiotic, broke out in a nasty rash, now we have to take meds for that (which is much better)

Now.....

Tony started getting sick last Wednesday he had to work Sat. which is the first time he has worked on a weekend since he started his new job, while there he was approached by his boss about a supervisors job, approached was as far as they got because they realized how sick he was and sent him to the nurse who sent him home and advised him to be taken to the hospital and be checked for the swine flu...(wonderful) to the ER we go, NO SWINE FLU but they do recommend he stay...He is a man...need I say more?(we went home) AND went back Sunday morning for an ultra sound to check his gall bladder...AND went back home to return finally back at the hospital Monday morning where they admitted him...he is still there..he's been very sick....On a THANK YOU JESUS NOTE his insurance kicked in Sunday..God is GOOD even in the hard times!
So We go in the morning to Bowling Green for a test to take a look see at his gall bladder, after the test he has to return to the hospital here and stay until the Doctor tell us where to go from here, it is possible that we are dealing with a bad gall bladder and possibly Crohn's disease too...I must admit that I have felt more than overwhelmed, I have been going to the hospital, staying for awhile leaving there going back to work gathering up kids, going back to hospital til around 8:30 and then back home to get homework, baths, laundry and start all over again...I once heard in a movie a woman say "I'm so tired I don't know if I should wined my butt or scratch my watch." AHEM....

So I'll try to give and update tomorrow night, please pray. Blessings!
